I'd like tips on how to get the article to GA status and also tips on improving sources/current article references.

Thanks, Dekema2 (talk) 02:23, 25 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your time so far, and I'm interested in hear suggestions on what can be fixed and improved. Your history in the area should undoubtedly help while I know you do have a track record of improving articles. While I've spent all of my pre-college life in the area, now that I'm a semi-ex Buffalonian, I'll do my best to listen and make improvements. --Dekema2 (talk) 19:06, 25 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

When I do that, I'll mark this as done. --Dekema2 (talk) 23:01, 25 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
WP:LEAD
  • I like the way the LEAD reads, but I don't think it actually summarized the article. Generally, I like to see a summary of each section in the LEAD. However, we want to keep this to 3000-3200 characters of readable prose. The lead is currently 2224 characters of readable prose so we have some room to play with. We can revisit this once I have run through the article.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 21:02, 25 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
History
You can go right ahead so when I add new references, I'll be able to quickly go back and change to them. --Dekema2 (talk) 23:02, 25 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
During the Talk:Buffalo, New York/GA1, I mentioned that the article had 46 entire paragraphs without ICs. I should not have to go through and point them out now 5 weeks later. You should have attempted to fix this before even coming to WP:PR. However, I will tag up the article as I review it.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 21:39, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I remember that, I could've added just some before opening this up. However, these {{fact}} tags will help because I might've overlooked them regardless. This week I will find time to look for WP:RS around the web. --Dekema2 (talk) 00:26, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I've started adding references, do you have an idea offhand if they are reliable? That's one issue I have with them. --Dekema2 (talk) 05:38, 29 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It is up to you to develop an understanding of WP:RS.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 06:29, 29 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
 Done The History section has had new citations added.--Dekema2 (talk) 03:53, 3 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Please add citations to any paragraph that has no citations.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:13, 3 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
